#AskEden - TPR, TPE, TPR Silicone and their safety

I was just wondering if there is any bad/scary reason to not own toys made of these materials: TPR, TPR Silicone and TPE. I read an article about how bad Jelly is and I just had a PVC toy 'melt' (or something like that) to one of my TPR toys I had it stored next to and I ended up throwing away both toys and the other PVC material toy I had because it freaked me out that it did this.
But with the 3 materials I mentioned, is anything bad like chemically going to happen from using these toys. I read about bad stuff put into the jelly and causing problems. There are some toys I like made of TPR and TPR Silicone and I also still own a few but if there are risks then I will reconsider keeping those and ordering more made of it.

For the most part, you can use silicone lube with TPE and TPR, but not TPR silicone. A general rule of thumb is that you don't want to use silicone lube with any material that has silicone in it, except pure silicone. If you use silicone lube on a 100% silicone product, you shouldn't experience any problems. If in doubt, spot test no part of the toy you don't see (the bottom of the base, for example).

I was just wondering if anything was dangerous in them like jelly. I am the only one that uses my stuff and I take care of them and clean them well. I just didn't know if any were harmful.

Some may contain phthalates, but it's less common than in jelly. If it's a product from Eden, the product page will usually state if a toy is phthalate-free. Otherwise, avoid toys that feel greasy or slimy to the touch, even when properly washed. Greasiness is the result of phthalates leaking out of a toy (though be aware that a lack of leak doesn't necessarily mean the toy is completely safe). If you're ever worried or unsure, you can always use a condom.
